It introduces basic aspects from the physical, bioengineering and medical perspectives, and forms a common knowledge base. It provides the entrance to the field and sets realistic expectations, both regarding potentials as well as limitations, for the devices in both design and outcomes. The book additionally reviews the technology behind the most frequently used and most clinically successful neuroprosthetic devices. It provides the physiological background for their function, as well as the technology behind them. Finally, the authors suggest future possible developments that may play crucial role in new prostheses for the brain. This gives the reader a comprehensive view on the principles and applications of neuroprostheses. This book has been built from the authors course they teach on neuroprostheses and is ideal for students, engineers and medical professionals in this field.

Wie konnen sich Unternehmen andern und sich dabei treu bleiben? Es gibt viele Wege zum Erfolg, eines jedoch haben sie gemeinsam: Ihr Fokus liegt auf Change Communications (Veranderungskommunikation). In dem Buch wird die zentrale Aufgabe von Change Communications veranschaulicht, namlich die Kommunikation wahrend eines Veranderungsprozesses zu steuern, zu managen und zu gestalten. Pramierte Projekte (European Change Communications Award) werden detailliert vorgestellt und durch Expertenbeitrage zu den Themen Traditionen, Werte und Rituale erganzt."
